Tora gets a smal! horse with no name, and the knight with no head stalks her across the moor. Tora and Roy, who is a pupil at the loca! boarding school, become best friends with Mary, the ghost. Robbers kidnap Tora's father.

 The Skraelling - Tora in Vineland Second Book

When Tora wakes up, there is a Skraelling lying in bed beside her - a Native American boy who says he was the prisoner of the Vikings a 1000 years ago. Which is to say, he is a ghost.

With the Skraelling's help, Tora finds the famous battleaxe Skull-cleaver for her archaeologist father, who is participating in a dig at a Viking settlement in Newfoundland. But it does not happen without drama. Many mysterious things take place.

Together with a pair of twins her age and their dog, Tora experiences nail-biting adventure and tender love.
